For professional short-term rental operators.

Improve your portfolio's performance — and prove it to your owners every month.

Steward is the weekly rhythm that catches performance dips while there's still time to fix them — and the monthly close that shows your owners the impact.

Build the Rhythm. Own the Relationship.

Performance Brief

The reality of the job

The urgent stuff finds you.
The important stuff does not.

Guest messages, cleaner texts, maintenance issues, owner questions: the noise never really stops. But the signals that cost you money rarely announce themselves. Slow pacing, ranking drops, pricing gaps, and missed follow-up get buried fast. Steward gives you one weekly place to catch what matters before it becomes expensive.

The Stewardship Rhythm.

You don't need another dashboard or guru making false promises. You need a system that shows you what to look for, what to fix, and when — every week, even while everything else is on fire. Steward gives you that structure and rhythm, and makes it easy to keep.


Weekly Stewardship

The operational pulse

Twenty minutes a week. See where every property's pacing, and make the small fixes that keep a slow month from becoming a lost one — while there's still runway.

Monthly Stewardship

The narrative close

Once a month it all comes together into a clean, professional report for every owner. It doesn't invent the story — it documents the one your week already wrote.

The result

A stronger operation.
And owners who feel it.

Once your monthly owner reports go out, your own standard rises. You stop letting slow weeks slide, and slow months get caught as a result. You get more proactive; pricing and decisions get sharper.

Owner updates write themselves. The operator who was just staying afloat is suddenly the one steering — not managing properties, but stewarding a business owners trust.

The whole toolkit

Find the gaps. Show the work.

Steward is the operating layer your PMS does not cover: performance recommendations, pacing, search rankings, owner reports, payout reports, growth tools, property improvements, and more. Use it weekly to spot what needs attention, then monthly to turn the work into a clear record your owners can trust.

The pilot

Your owners deserve better than a spreadsheet.
So does your business.

Steward is opening to a small group of operators — free. It's the same system that grew our own portfolio's revenue 48% year over year. We'll walk through your portfolio together, highlight performance gaps and missed opportunities, and help you build your first owner reports inside Steward.

All we ask in return is honest feedback from operators managing real properties for real owners. Request a pilot spot below.

The founder

Built by an STR operator.
Because nothing else existed.

4.96+ average rating across three markets — beach, mountain, and mid-sized city. 24 consecutive quarters as a Superhost.

Steward was built by Brian FitzGerald — a short-term rental operator who needed a way to optimize revenue and report to owners professionally... and found that nothing in the market did it. So he built it.

After using Steward's performance tracking and recommendations in his own portfolio, Brian saw revenue grow 48% year over year. Not because the properties changed. Because the system did.

Questions
Will it replace my PMS or pricing tool?

No. Steward sits on top of whatever you already use and handles what those tools were never built for: performance optimization and the owner relationship. Your PMS runs the bookings; Steward runs the rhythm and the reporting.

What tools does it work with?

Anything that can export a CSV — which is virtually every platform out there. Not sure about yours? Just ask and we'll check.

Is Steward right for me if I only manage a few properties?

Steward is built for operators managing short-term rentals for owners, or actively building toward that model. It becomes especially valuable as you add properties, owner relationships, performance decisions, and monthly reporting, but you do not need a big portfolio to start. If you are building a real STR management business, Steward is for you. If you are casually managing one personal rental, it may be more than you need.

What if my books aren't in great shape?

Common, and usually not a problem. You do not need perfect books to start with Steward. If your rental income and expenses are separate from personal spending and tagged by property, you are in good shape.

The monthly reporting rhythm tends to strengthen your bookkeeping over time. When owners can see the numbers clearly, you naturally get more disciplined about keeping the underlying data clean.
